Effective Use of Humor in Congress by Brian Hoagburg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-yGVPXVglo However cheesy the concept may seem, the media that fills today’s society can leave room for an in depth analysis. In fact, something as simple as a cheese commercial can hide both deeper and powerful ideals. One in particular, Kraft, has a special talent for doing …
“Right Brain, Wrong Bias,” Mike Norris (2012) — Inquiry 3
“There is an inevitable rise in bureaucracy, with paper replacing people, and experience increasingly virtualized. In going all out for what we believe will be our own happiness, we exploit the world and see ourselves as alien to it, rather than seeing that our happiness …
Save the Elephants by Meg Riley
Four hundred elephant carcasses: that is what was found in Cameroon a week ago. Despite the many organizations that are trying to save elephants, poaching is persevering. For poachers, it makes sense to kill the elephants so they can sell the ivory, but why do …
Beyond the Lunch Line by Emily Kiernan

A Different Medal of Honor by Megan Schaefer
It was the summer of 2008. School was right around the corner, and fall sports were in action. It was the last day of volleyball tryouts, and everyone was exhausted, due to the long week of strenuous conditioning and intensive drills. I had been playing …
A Year of Lying by Samantha Thurman
When people think of Smoothie King they think of nutrition, health, and losing weight. It’s not exactly the same for the people who work there. My coworkers and I used to joke about how our job is not to sell smoothies or get people to …
“So Much Has Changed in a Year,” Sarah Marie Noonan (2011) — Inquiry 5
Reflecting on something is not always the easiest thing to do. It is hard to remember what all happened over the course of a semester or a year and therefore your reflection may be a little off. However, reflecting on written works allows for a …
“Baking and Writing,” Kaitlin Pizzimenti (2011) — Inquiry 5
Two things I enjoy doing are writing and baking. I think, that writing is a lot like baking. And to write a good piece of literature, whatever it may be, is like baking a delicious cake. Marble cake is one of my favorites. I have …
